A SAD LESSON.

NDu"huk p'SSh -'pNb'Y
The events which have transpired here
during the past four weeks should be a
lesson to our Republican friends and the
voters, generally. During this brief per
iod two Republican officials have de-
cnniped-Haskell and Donnelly--lenving
their bondsmen to foot their bills. In
both cases whisky and women are said TO
be the chief cause OF their downfall, facts
which were well known TO the party who
were instrumental in putting them in "fiice.
The leading Republicans of Bowling Green
knew of their standing, but they were
bull duzed into Office regardless OF the
wishes OF the people.
A scheme was inslignted TO force Has.
kel ON 10 the people as Mayor Of oui
village, and would have been successful
had The plot not been discovered in time.
Haskell would have been uice man to
represent Bowling Green us it's chief Off
Ger, wouldn't he? Yet the bosses were
bound aud determined to put him in.
The plot to override the wishes Of the peo.
pie was discovered IN time and our town
was thus saved the disgrace OF having an
ubsconding Mayor.
At the convention last fall il was
thought by every prominent Republican
that Donnelly was short in his accounts,
that il was question whether he could
furnish bond, aud they were well aware
OF the fact that lie WAS entirely unfit for
The position, but Notwithstanding all the
facts he was nominated with hurrah and
was elected the same woy. They reasoned
like this, 1--WE know he is short" we know
office, bnt we can't help ourselves. BY
re-eleciing him he will have a chance to
'pny out aud the people will never I've any
the wiser. They never considered the fact
that when n man starts down hill he gen
orally goes TO the bottom. Gentlemen,
Donnelly and Haskill are AT the bottom of
the hill. Two families are broken up by
elecing, or rather forcing these men into
office.
Is this not sSd lesson to Republicans
Ia It not time TO call halt to this thing
of putting everybody in Office jus, because
they are "ioly good fellows % /. Wood
county so hard up for material TO fill our
county ofiices-places of trus,-that we
are compelled TO pick up every Tom, Dick
and Harry who comes alrng and pla ce
them in these positions? II M, let's ex-
tend our territory and take in men who
are competent.

MAN .MISSING.
Wood County Clerk of Courts Gone,
(Sneciai io Toiodo nee \

kcpcCihl 70 lOcuO btosl
BOWLING GREEN, March 2i.-R. NJ
DOnnelly. who was elected last fall tC
his second term as county clerk, is
among the missing ones, and has been
absent siuco Tuesday last. IL is thought
this is owing to the fact, as rumored
that his hondsmen, with one exception,
had asked to he released, and that he
was unable 20 procure n new bond by
Saturuay-the time given him by the
commissioners. 1t is claimed that the
funds intrustcd TO his care are short
about $4,000.
A. w. Rudulph, of the Gdsctte, has
been appointed to serve until next fall,
when new clerk will be elected.
The above was the first announce
ment made to the public that the gen
ial Donnelly had fell among thieves and
was led astray. He was among the best
in the lot, but failed to hide and cover
up his footprints. Some say he is in
Toledo, badly broken up from dissipa-
tion and others say he is in Canada.
Some estimate his shortage at $4,000 or
$1,000, while others think it is less than
$4,000.
Now let the people make up their
minds to put an expert to work upon
the business transactions of the county
for the past ten years and they will be
overwhelmed with surprise at the exc
dus to start settlement" in Canada.
And they will also get some idea re-
garding the refusal of the JOURNAL to
support the so-called Republican ticket.

Some three or four months ago the
editor of the d. G. Democrat dropped in
to the Council chamber in that village
and his sympathies were deeply aroused
at once over the labors of solons strug-
Cling with legislation for the benefit of
the city for which they received no pay,
only the curses of the people in the end.
We noticed. by the B. G. papers soon af-
ter that several parties had taken the
road, South and East, to secure manu-
featuring interests for the village. They
came back and reported that the people
IN the East thought we were not civil
izcd yet ont in this neck of the woods,
that there were too many Injins' and
not enough shipping facilities. The
glass company came after they got
through the search. Now that they
have got legislation to authorize the
people to vote on the question of issuing
$35, 1000 worth of bonds the Democrat
wants every man to vote and think just
ashley do. Or boycott him as an enemy of
the town. When the people of Bowling
Green have had as much experience as
Perrysburg for the past twenty-five
years, they will know what interest con.
trolls the Democrat.

Mr.. TIMNoNs :-Thinking it might
interest the resders of the JOURNAL to
know how our little city, Red Cloud, re-
ceived It's name, will try TO relate the
incident connected with il.
On the highest point of land few
miles from the city is fonnd the burial
spot OF the daughter of the celebrated In.
dian Chief, Red Cloud. A cave about
four feet in dnptli contains Il rather high
platform which supports the dead body
OF the Indian girl in an upright sitting
posture, At her side lies her iavorie
hunting dog and pony, bow and arrows,
saddle, etc., all Of which according 10 the
reaches the Happy Hunting Grounds" !"
Her pony, IT is SAID, was during her last
hours on earth alternately clicked and
revived so ms to suffer with her as long
as life was visible. The cave is sill Wis
tied by curious strangers. The bones Of
the pony and dog are plainly seen.
Thus Red Cloud was named from this
famous chief, the father of the Indian
girl. The city has grown in seven wears
from blacksmith shop, one store and
two or three 'dugouts" to three large
banks, two large brick blocks containing
stores of three and four stories high, five
and six dry goods aud grocery stores, two
or three hardware and drug stores, one
very large postoiice, three printing Offices
which issue papers weekly, etc., etc.
The city was visited by cyclone few
years ago, demoishing the town TO quite
AN extent, but it was rapidly built mp
again. A railroad runs through the town
east and west, the c. r. & Missouri road
